Bluegrass, quilting, weaving, line dancing: down Home artists bring folk fun to Artspace, 710 Texas

From the gleam of the wood floors to the calming white walls of the restored building, Artspace remains a whaaaat experience in Shreveport. It is uptown. And it seems to offer something for everyone.

A plethora of folk artists and an array of down home activities is currently the focus of the accomodating SRAC staff. And parking, that nemesis of downtown comfort, is complimentary and safe at the Blue Scroll Mural lot across the street from Artspace.
